Factors affecting students’ usage and perceptions of a generic intranet learning resource: models of use

The Key to Key Skills Project made portable to other universities an intranet system, developed at Leeds Metropolitan University, to support students’ Key Skills. The system was piloted and evaluated in three partner institutions (Sheffield Hallam University, Leeds Metropolitan University and the University of Plymouth). The evaluation revealed that how the system was introduced, rather than demographic or course factors, affected students’ usage and perceptions of it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
